The Complete Aeschylus: Volume II: Persians and Other Plays - Greek Tragedy in New Translations
Burian, Peter (Professor of Classical and Comparative Literature and Theater Studies, Professor of Classical and Comparative Literature and Theater Studies, Duke University)
This volume collects Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, a haunting depiction of the most famous of Olympian punishments; The Suppliants, an extraordinary drama of flight and rescue arising from women's resistance to marriage; Persians, a masterful telling of the Persian Wars from the view of the defeated; and Seven Against Thebes, a richly symbolic play about the feuding sons of Oedipus. The volume retains the informative introductions andexplanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.
